Personal Interests
Though I have indoors interests, I find that my major pleasures generally
take me outdoors. I enjoy biking, hiking, gardening, and long walks
for bird watching along the Military Ridge bike trail.
Personal Statement
Over the past 22 years, my research has centered on alternative
conceptions of leadership, especially in regard to school principals.
This interest is grounded in my professional work experiences as a high
school Spanish teacher, high school principal, director of a bilingual
administrator training program, and as Executive Director of the Pennsylvania
School Study Council located at Penn State University. More recently,
my teaching and scholarly interests have focused on the professional development
and learning in educational organizations.
